 Follow up to #24553

 The CSS animation added in #24553 doesn't work as expected for a couple
 reasons:
 - height "auto" can't be animated with CSS
 - jQuery `delay()` works only for the jQuery effects queue, not for other
 methods like `empty()`

 The original intent of this animation was to make the "user is currently
 editing" info smoothly slide in and out, avoiding "jumps" in the UI that
 could be disturbing for users.

 I'd say either the leftover code related to the animation should be
 removed or the animation should be fixed.
